FRIDAY AFTERNOON
Board called to order at 2 D. m.
quorum present
Mr.. BARLEY withdrew his resolution
to appropriate $500 for bridge. Sale
as so much had been appropriated
Bloomington would wait till next year
Mr.. Oswald called up the resolution
of Finance committee, to relieve the
county treasurer and his bondsmen and
moved its adoption Seconded by Mr.
Ruka
Mr. BARLEY opposed the resolution.
He said this matter had hung fire since
1883. Two years ago Mcmahon came
up and asked to be relieved of one halt
the deficiency This was done, and ii
was supposed that the matter would be
so settled. But now they come and
ask for the other half. The matter has
been well managed for Mcmahon, but
no one has said a word or done any
thing for the county. Every resolution
presented in his behalf has come from
his political enemies. He has looked
for assistance to those who oppose him
at the polls Mr. BARLEY thought the
granting of the relief asked would be a
bad precedent. Any defaulter might
get clear as well. Already Mr. Curry,
cx-treasurer of Lima was asking REIN
bursement on the same grounds. He
asked to see the certificates of deposit,
which were produced.
The vote on the adoption of the
resolution was called by ayes and noes,
and resulted as follows:
Ayes-Scott, Grimm, Mcpherson,
Montieth, McFall, Harvey, Hier, Ry-
land, Morrison, Wiseman, Day Arnold,
Bremmer, Wiederhold, Macarthur,
Doyle, A. Brown, Wall. Glynn, Schrei-
ner Robbins, Ruka, Geiger, Edwards,
